Chapter 25: Marriage Confusion
The cooperation with Han Qingyu was officially launched, this is the first time that Big Ear Media is also Lin Daqi's presiding over the space design, so he naturally attaches great importance to it, and he has also recruited a new design assistant for the space.
Chen Erdong helped Han Qingyu give a name to the western restaurant, called Pan Quan'er, which has two meanings, one is to welcome friends from all walks of life and different circles to come here to eat food and make friends, and the other is that this restaurant not only provides food, but also band performances, literary film screenings, art salons, etc., these are the restaurant positioning made by Han Qingyu after integrating foreign catering culture, so Han Qingyu likes this name very much.
They have changed from an ordinary relationship between A and B to friends, Han Qingyu has just returned to China, and there are too many social and entertainment activities with Chinese characteristics waiting for her, and she is overwhelmed every day.
She admires Chen Erdong's ease of receiving people and things, and also appreciates Lin Daqi's artistic talent, and on many occasions, she is willing to call them to meet new friends and integrate into different circles.
Over the next few months, the three of them became close. The appearance of Han Qingyu opened a window for Chen Erdong and Lin Daqi, originally their social relationship was very simple, nothing more than middle school classmates and college classmates, Shen Pei didn't like to socialize, and Liu Min's connections were like isolation from her.
Chen Erdong's social circle is constantly upgrading, either rich or expensive, including the second ancestor who spends a lot of money, as well as the rising stars of large enterprises and entrepreneurs like him, Chen Erdong wanders among all kinds of people, like a fish in water, and even the phenomenon of being frightened by the opposite sex no longer exists, and soon became a well-known figure in the active circle of young people in Jincheng.
In the parlance of the time, it was called a "fame peddler". Through these newly established contacts, he has also brought a lot of business to Big Ears Media.
In July 2007, the number of employees at Big Ear Media increased to 18, and the current office was a little cramped, and Chen Erdong plans to change offices next year.
Now he is proud, 23 years old, managing nearly 20 people and a well-known company in the industry.
In comparison, Lin Daqi is much more low-key, although he will also go out with Chen Erdong to socialize, but only selectively, pure fun occasions, he is not interested, he is still the designer who likes to study design and love art, and staying in his own independent office is the most down-to-earth.
During this time, he and Shen Pei did not quarrel again, not because there were no contradictions, but because the time spent together was too scarce, and they didn't even have the opportunity to create contradictions.
Occasionally, Chen Erdong will spend a night with Shen Pei, but there is no longer the former warmth, both of them tacitly know that Shen Pei's existence is more like a habit, and the familiarity with her is like a conditioned reflex, so tasteless, and the meeting with Liu Min has never been mentioned again.
Shen Pei was silent about the visible development speed of Big Ear Media, she was tormented but had nowhere to vent, after all, her boyfriend was fighting for her career, she didn't mess with flowers or grass, she didn't even do her job, she couldn't even reason, she could only play the role in the widely circulated saying, "Behind every successful man there is a successful woman." ”
Dong Yuhua urged Chen Erdong to take Shen Pei home for dinner from time to time, but it was difficult for her to even see Chen Erdong in a sober state, either she came back in the middle of the night and fell asleep, or worked overtime in the company.
Dong Yuhua and Chen Mowen have not retired yet, and they can't see people at all during the day, Dong Yuhua also knows that his son's career is developing well, although he misses Shen Pei in his heart, he has no other way but to talk about it, he only hopes that the relationship between this young couple is the same as in the past.
Liu Min is rarely idle, she can rest at home for a week, and seeing Shen Pei depressed, she decided to take her out to buy and eat food, first, to make up for the lack of care for Shen Pei for most of the past six months, and second, to help her adjust her mood and ask about her emotional plans by the way.
Although Liu Min and Chen Erdong have not met again, she knows the order of Big Ear Media, she almost dispelled the doubts about Chen Erdong's ability, she is also a businessman, she knows very well the impact of busy career on her partner and family, so although she knows Shen Pei's heart, she also understands Chen Erdong, after all, she couldn't even take care of her young daughter when she rushed to her career.
After shopping, Liu Min took Shen Pei to a Japanese food shop, at that time there were not many good Japanese food stores in China, especially in the inland area, this bamboo shop can be said to be the best in Jincheng.
The decoration of the store is fresh and elegant, there is no lobby, all are tatami mat rooms, it is said that it was created by a Japanese designer, Liu Min chose the deepest one, clean and private, the mother and daughter took off their shoes and sat on the ground.
"Your mother is bleeding a lot today, so I just bought one piece of clothing, and the rest is yours."
"Whoever told you not to usually accompany me, so you bought such a little bit to save you money."
"And I have to thank you? If I accompany you every day, who will buy you these bags and clothes? ”
"Yes, you're all busy, you should be busy, and I'm not important anyway." This sentence clearly refers to something else.
"How are you and Chen Erdong? I've heard from the factory that he's been sending more and more orders lately. ”
"It's okay, he's busier than you, and it's hard to see people for a week."
"That's good, I was worried that he was a stupid boy at first, but now it looks like business is doing well."
"Mom, do you only know business, there is nothing else to do in life except to make money?"
Liu Min didn't answer in a hurry, but picked up a sweet shrimp and dipped it in mustard and soy sauce, "Try this shrimp, I heard from a friend that this store is airlifted every day, and it is very fresh." Shen Pei stretched his head over and ate it in one bite.
"At that time, we paid attention to starting a family first and then starting a business, now the times are different, Chen Erdong is a bit of a business, but he is not very good at distinguishing between work and life, I told you last year, give you two another year, you get married, his identity is different, he himself knows how to learn to start a family."
"He only has work in his eyes now, I can't see him in person, what are you talking about getting married?" Shen Pei was quite frustrated.
"Is the shrimp delicious?" Liu Min suddenly changed the topic, and Shen Pei nodded.
"No matter how delicious the shrimp is, someone has to peel it, if the chef doesn't handle the shrimp tail for you, how can you eat it in one gulp?" Liu Min had a metaphor, but Shen Pei didn't seem to hear it.
"Mom, why did you suddenly say peeling shrimp?"
"Chen Erdong and I are the chef who peeled the shrimp, and you are still the one who eats the shrimp." Liu Min smiled.
"Are you saying that I'm too lazy to eat, and I can't get married if I'm too lazy?" Shen Pei pouted and complained to Liu Min.
"Take the time to talk to him, this is a big deal, you have to let him have this concept, I don't mean that you have to get married this year, it's July, but you have to make him pay attention to it, start planning now, so that next year will be in time."
"Hey, I'm sick of it."
"Annoying? Then you won't marry him. ”
"How is that possible!" Shen Pei exclaimed.
"Isn't that it, you don't go to work, you don't think about these things, you let him talk about customers every day while thinking about your marriage?"
"Isn't marriage mentioned by all men? Why did it come to me and become me to Zhang Luo? Shen Pei felt a little wronged.
"Silly boy, it's not for you to propose, it's just for him to know that this matter must be put on the agenda from now on."
